And what comes after insane and ludicrous??“There is of course one speed faster than ludicrous, but that is reserved for the next generation Roadster in 4 years: maximum plaid.”Ok, folks, that’s all for now. We will be looking forward to maximum plaid.

What happened to the boldfaced portion of this footnote to Tesla's P85D specs that was removed from Tesla's web site not that long ago?

"The P85D top speed is currently electronically-limited to 130 mph. In the coming months, we will be able to upgrade the car free of charge to enable a 155 mph top speed. This free update will be available for the lifetime of the car (not limited to the first owner). Additionally, an over-the-air firmware upgrade to the power electronics will improve P85D performance at high speed above what anyone outside Tesla has experienced to date. In other words, the car will be better than you experienced. This free upgrade will be rolled out in the next few months, once full validation is complete."

Today Musk announced a $10,000 Ludicrous Speed update. It wasn't exactly the "over-the-air firmware update" that was promised above. Am I not reading this correctly?

The web shows u need the battery pack upgrade for total of 13k...anyone know if can backward retrofit ? No mention in mtg

Was there any mention of this is backward compatible with P85Ds?
I see now in web u can configure as a 90d now I understand how all the p85+ guys felt

This TechCrunch article claims that the change is a fuse which will be available as an upgrade for existing P85D owners. I've not seen either claim elsewhere, but if its true I'll sign up as soon as they'll let me.

I'm curious if the $10k ludicrous toggle is simply a software setting and the car is otherwise identical to a 90kwh P85D without ludicrous enabled, and stuck at merely insane. (Sort of how supercharging can be enabled on a 60 via software)

Wasn't that the change from 3.2s to 3.1s which was released a while back?
